    Michelle is a great guide...

    Tristan_M, May 2026
    Michelle is a great guide and highly engaged. Despite less than stellar weather, Michelle’s positivity was unaffected and contagious. Great for people of all ages, including children.

    Memorable Eiffel Tower experience

    Alan_Y, May 2026
    Nice tour of the Eiffel Tower. Our guide gave a knowledgeable history review before heading up the elevator to the 2nd floor for our first view. We were then free to head up to the 3rd floor for a good look around. We had plenty of time to explore and move back down to the 2nd and 1st floors at our own pace. Crowds were manageable. Highly recommend!

    Great way to celebrate a milestone and Clement (tour guide) was great!

    Gilbert_D, May 2026
    Our guide, Clement, was very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We highly recommend him. Best of all, we enjoyed the tour even if our tour started at 9:30 because Clement was very mindful of everybody who showed up early or on time. Well done to him.

    Glitch

    We met with Denise ready to begin our tour of the Notre Dane Cathedral. Our tour was supposed to be outside and then inside of the cathedral. For some reason Denise only had our tour going on the outside of the cathedral. It was the same with the five other couples. My wife and I opted out of our tour and are expecting a full refund for our missed tourz

    No white flag .!

    Philip_G, Apr 2026
    The guide sent a message that she would be holding a white flag , as that would seem good as hundreds of tourists were there . We all looked for a white flag as there was NO WHITE FLAG . We were ripped off by this company !! As the guide told the company she had a white flag . BS !!

    Disappointed

    bsh0309, Apr 2026
    I’m not sure what I actually paid for. The tour was a very brief overview of the history of the tower and a ticket to the tower. In fairness we went to the summit at the guidance of our tour guide to avoid a long line which did work but I was expecting more guidance on what I was seeing from the tower. I would have just purchased a ticket for the tower and skipped the tour.

    Mediocre tour with a nice guide

    Michael_E, Apr 2026
    The Eiffel Tower Tour was ok, our guide was a nice guy but we felt that he didn't provide a ton of value for the added expense of the tour. Also, a few people on our tour had tickets that did not work and the guide had to take much of the time fixing that issue so we only got about 5 minutes with him on the second deck before our tour was over. Would have been just as easy to buy the tickets and tour the site ourselves.

    Flavia gives a great tour!

    Dan_P, Mar 2026
    Flavia did a nice job balacing history of tower and shepherding us through the crowd. Fun personality. Great views of the city. Intresting stories about it's development

    This is the way to go….

    Lynn_B, Jan 2026
    It was fabulous to skip the long lines and hear about the history of the Eiffel Tower! The views are wonderful!

    Great guide and easy ascent. Descent was another story

    Wendy_M, Dec 2025
    Fabulous guide Ope and experience to get us up the tower. One of the elevators stopped working before we came down and it was a treacherous stair decline in the late evening with kids. Only other option was waiting in a cramped hour + line in the freezing cold. Wasn’t the guides fault as they leave once you’re up there but did impact our overall experience.

    Don’t waste your money!!!!

    Richard_S, Nov 2025
    Better to do in your own. The guide was 15 minutes late. Took time to send each person airdrop tickets. We did not leave meeting spot until 35 minutes from tour start time. A few bad jokes . Too us thru line into elevator. Pointed out a few short landmarks and said “ au revoir” in 15 minutes. Polite but that’s it

    Response from Host, Jan 2026

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your frustration. We would like to clarify that waiting times at the Eiffel Tower, especially for elevator access, are determined entirely by the monument’s security procedures and capacity regulations. Unfortunately, no tour operator can bypass or reduce these queues, as they apply equally to all visitors. Our service focuses on ticket reservation, assistance, and access coordination, but elevator lines are unavoidable due to safety controls and high visitor volume. This information is outlined in advance to help guests set realistic expectations. We appreciate your comments and wish you a pleasant continuation of your travels.

    We had the most...

    Kenneth_E, May 2025
    We had the most unforgettable experience on our visit to the Eiffel Tower. Our trip to the summit was pretty intense. A we ended up being stuck at the top for an hour and a 1/2 because of a hailstorm! Other than that we had a great time.

    Liz was an outstanding...

    Elizabeth_R, Apr 2025
    Liz was an outstanding tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and was great with the whole family! Highly recommend!!

    It was canceled the day...

    April_I, Apr 2025
    It was canceled the day of, not enough people for a tour guide. Offered 50% off and still gave us our tickets (which saved us some time not waiting to purchase tickets) with an audio tour. So just ok.

    Visiting the Eiffel Tower...

    Laura_I, Mar 2025
    Visiting the Eiffel Tower was an incredible experience that exceeded all expectations. I opted for a guided tour, and it was well worth it. The guide was friendly and shared interesting tidbits about the history of the Eiffel Tower, making the experience much more engaging than just admiring the view. The ascent to the top was smooth and efficient, and as we made our way up, the views of Paris unfolded before us—truly spectacular! From the top, you could see the entire city. The panoramic views were absolutely worth the price of admission. The entire experience was both educational and awe-inspiring, making it one of the highlights of my time in Paris. I highly recommend the Eiffel Tower tour to anyone visiting the city—it’s a must-do!

    Wonderful!

    Manuel_c, Feb 2025
    the experience was really well organized it was fantastic and the guide was very good, it was a wonderful day!

    Falsche Tickets

    Melanie_F, May 2026
    Wir haben mit Gipfel gebucht und bezahlt. Leider hatte der Reiseführer die falschen Eintrittskarten dabei und so konnten wir nur das Level 2 besuchen. Sehr ärgerlich

    Super experience

    Christian_K, Nov 2025
    Great guide and super experience. The guide was sweet and loud. We got a good story about the Eiffel Tower on the trip.
